Project Overview

The Fairmont Hotel in Vancouver, BC has been named one of the most historically lavish hotels in the world. Celebrating its 80th anniversary this year, the Fairmont still keeps to its roots with furniture and fixtures from the Art Deco period as well as photos and mementos from the landmark’s illustrious history.

Building Four Fabrication was given the asked to create a piece of art that would pay tribute to some of this rich history. Ultimately, over 1,200 replica printing plates (matching those manufactured by the old factory) were created for this piece.
